And if, may Allah have mercy on the Shaykh, one understands the ruling on some of the juice boxes or drinks available in our time, such as Dalia or barley drink, and they are labeled as alcohol-free.
Answer:
The default is soundness and permissibility, unless it is established that these beverages contain alcohol, in which case they are forbidden. If this is established, mere probabilities or rumors do not make the lawful forbidden.
